M. OstermeierÆs recent solo debut Percolate (Parvoart, Jan 2010) featured
fragile Rhodes and acoustic piano melodies atop minimal downtempo electronics
and Labradford-esque guitar tones. Here on the seven-track mini-album Lakefront,
the skeletal acoustic piano remains, but the minimal beats have evaporated and
we are left with something more organic, more haunting. Harold Budd is still an
apt reference for the piano fragments, but the infusion of acoustic recordings
and darker guitar and electronics bring to mind Deaf Center and Library Tapes.
The melancholic mood that builds throughout Lakefront evokes feelings of
nostalgia and regret. One theme present in MarcÆs mind as he was writing these
pieces was how the passing of time necessarily brings uncertainty to oneÆs
recollection of the past û an uncertainty that has its own poignancy.

Marc lives in Baltimore in the US where these tracks were recorded during the
last few months of 2009. He was the main songwriter of the 1990Æs
shoegaze/post-rock band Should and is also the co-owner of Words On Music, an
independent record label.
